Science Fiction & Fantasy book reviews
I recently saw a bunch of people doing this tag and it looked like a lot of fun. I'm also in a bit of a reviewing funk at the mo, which is annoying given I have a few more books I'd like to talk about for SciFi Month, but this was a nice way to... Continue Reading →
Hi Corey, thanks so much for doing the interview! I've just finished your newest book, Repo Virtual, and absolutely loved it. How have you found the experience of releasing a book this year?
